Creating something from nothing—was only illusion.The reason the Gourmet's Tablecloth could conjure meals was because it had pre-stored ingredients in its internal space.
Still, the artifact remained miraculous.According to its rules, it could even use Willpower Orbs as a cost to replicate mythical delicacies, such as Jewel-Meat.Of course, the cost wasn't trivial.
But for Yi Tianxing, such a cost was negligible.
As long as he didn't overindulge, he could sustain it indefinitely.
"Excellent. Even without a top chef by my side,I can still enjoy divine cuisine."
"With this, my body cultivation can continue progressing.I've already reached Body Refinement Sixth Turn.Once I choose the appropriate technique, I can begin fully advancing again,strengthening my blood and body essence."
This solved a pressing concern.
But he didn't stop there.
Yi Tianxing immediately began opening new tower realms once more.
He fused several more divine treasures in succession:
The Horn of Harvest,
And the Demon-Hunting Blade.
With this, the Hongmeng Heavenly Emperor Tower evolved a 40th level.
Each new internal realm inherited the essence of its artifact—The world born from the Horn of Harvest, for example, was not only lush and fertile,but full of spirit fields ideal for cultivating herbs, plants, and even spiritual beasts.
It dramatically shortened growth cycles—A prime realm for cultivating medicine and raising beasts.
"Forty floors… that's enough for now."
"If I keep fusing more, the internal realms will shrink too fast."
They had already contracted to 200,000 miles in radius.
Moreover, not all artifacts were worthy of merging into the tower.
Even with the Chaotic Divine Well, which allowed endless infusion of chaotic essence,he decided to restrain further expansion.
Currently, the tower contained forty realms,meaning it housed forty Primeval Artifacts:
Spatial Gate
Death God's Fishing Rod
Spirit-Link Mirror
Heaven-Cleaving Sword

"Now it's time to choose my Sixth-Turn Body Refinement Technique."
Yi Tianxing began pondering his options.
He followed the Nine-Turn Path to Dao, and for each turn, he ideally practiced a different body-refining art.Each would grant unique physical divine abilities.Upon completing the ninth turn, his body would fuse all traits, becoming near-perfect.
In the God-Demon Battlefield, he had gathered many cultivation classics—Some from even the Myriad Tribulation Demon Lord himself, including several top-tier physical arts.
"'Magneto-Mountain Suppression Scripture','Five Elements War God Body','Nine Heavens Thunder God Sutra','Icy Flesh and Jade Bones Manual','Undying Blood God Canon','Crystal God-Body of Eternity','Green Emperor's Longevity Scripture'…I'm not short on techniques. The real issue is choosing the right one."
Each had unique merits.The chosen art would directly determine what divine body powers he gained.
"'Magneto-Mountain Suppression Scripture' lets you refine your body using magnetic force,And gives birth to Magneto-Divine Light,Which is incredibly effective at suppressing magical treasures.Touch it, and they're absorbed and sealed."
"Strong, yes, but similar to the Great Strength Bull Demon Body I've used before.Too much overlap—not ideal."
Yi Tianxing weighed each option carefully.He wanted something unique, something that would grant a new divine trait.
After intense contemplation, his eyes suddenly gleamed with resolution.
"You.'Nine Heavens Thunder God Sutra'—you're the one."
This was a dual-body and Qi cultivation technique.Once fully cultivated, it would forge the Thunder God Battle Body.
It would let him bathe in thunder without harm, wield thunder as his own,and cleanse the body of evil through divine lightning.
"Thunder is one of the most powerful forces of nature.Even heavenly tribulations are rooted in it."
"Using thunder to temper my body might be the best choice.Especially since I possess the innate spiritual treasure Thunder Pool—That'll greatly boost my cultivation speed."
The decision was made.
Shiiing—!
Suddenly, space distorted in front of him.Ripples spread like waves—And a jade talisman appeared out of nowhere.
It was etched with countless divine patterns, shifting and twisting.
"To transmit a jade talisman directly to me… who is this?"
Yi Tianxing's eyes sharpened.
He could sense a thread of causality emanating from the talisman.
"It's a Causality Jade Talisman," Xiao Mi said."It uses karmic force to appear directly before its intended recipient."
"One end of this karmic thread is clearly bound to you."
Such items were exceedingly rare and valuable—Usually used for tracking, search, or targeting enemies.
To send one now meant someone was looking for him specifically.
"Interesting. Let's see who's trying to find me."
Yi Tianxing was intrigued.This was his first time encountering such a phenomenon.
From the jade talisman, a voice echoed into his mind—Not through sound, but directly into the soul:
"To those who have received this talisman—I am Zhao Hao, a fellow Heaven's Chosenwho survived the cataclysm of the previous era."
"Using this Causality Jade Talisman, I've sent invitations to all Heaven's Chosen who survived that calamity."
"Though we may not know each other,though we may hail from different nations or bear different skin—in the Eternal World after the fusion of realms,we all share one identity—survivors of the old era."
"We should not remain strangers, isolated and scattered."
"I, Zhao Hao, invite all of you to gather at my Sun Palace,three days from now.Using the jade talisman, you can teleport directly to the palace."
"Let us meet again as fellow kindred souls."
The voice was crystal clear, even a deaf man would understand it.
"Zhao Hao… Heaven's Chosen… Sun Palace…"
Yi Tianxing studied the now-dim talisman.His eyes glinted thoughtfully.
He didn't believe this was just a friendly gathering.
Heaven's Chosen were survivors of apocalyptic destruction—Each blessed by fate, each extraordinarily lucky.Any one of them could rise to power.Some might already be overlords.
If such people truly united, the resulting force would be immeasurable.As the organizer, Zhao Hao would naturally gain tremendous influence.
His idea was smart—Using their shared origin as a bridge to form connections.
And indeed, such an offer would be tempting to any Heaven's Chosen.
There was a deep sense of kinship among those who had survived the last era.
"It's worth going," Yi Tianxing decided."But caution is still necessary."
He remembered meeting a previous Heaven's Chosen—A spoiled rich second-generation brat.His personality was poor, but his fortune was terrifying.
There was no guarantee that some gathering of Heaven's Chosen wouldn't become chaotic.
"Brother, are you there?"
A voice called from outside.
"Come in, Ziyan."
Yi Tianxing smiled.
Zhao Ziyan entered naturally.She glanced at the talisman in his hand, eyes flashing knowingly.
"So you received it too.You heard Zhao Hao's message, didn't you?"
"What do we do? Are we going?"
She held a jade talisman in her hand as well.
"Mhm. Li Zhilin is also a Heaven's Chosen—he likely got one too."
"We're going," Yi Tianxing said calmly."If Dad and Mom are still in the God-Demon Battlefield,there's a good chance they'll appear at that gathering."
"We can't afford to miss that possibility."
